Yeah, the web dev toolbar is so nice. I couldn't live without it.

The thing is, I don't want feed readers to get that portion of my RSS, I
want it to be displayed on my home page in the format mentioned in the
previous post.

If people want to point their newsreader to my RSS feed I understand
that their newsreader would format the time feed to its specifications.

I don't want to change the source feed (as that would invalidate it) but
only the way the date is displayed on my home page.


Is there a way to do this?

The date should be in that format, it allows feed readers to convert the date and time into a stamp relative to the reader's configured timezone.

PS: if you're using firefox, make sure you have the Web Developer Extension: http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/

It has a tools menu which includes an RSS validator amongst other things... very handy :)

Thanks A3gis, I just got that part working. I've configured it to
display the title and date for each post.

The only problem is that the date appears as:

Tue, 18 Jul 2006 04:38:07 +0000

I would prefer the date to appear as:

July 18, 2006

or

6.18.06

Does anyone know how to make this work?

P.S. Here's the xls file:

P.S. my XSL fragment is:

Can't seem to find an error at the site you pointed to... if I go through to the blog and click on the RSS feed links in the sidebar, they open XML files. The ones down the bottom of the page dont work though.. because of the feed: http:// perhaps?

Beyond that though, the error you mention looks like the server is missing part of the components it needs to process the file. Maybe make sure you've uploaded everything to the server.
